Ecclesiastes:11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Cast your bread on the waters ;
for you shall find it after many days .
*
Give a share to seven ,
and also to eight ;
for you know not what evil shall be on the earth .
*
If the clouds are full of rain ,
they empty on the earth ;
and if the tree falls toward the south ,
or toward the north ,
in the place where the tree falls ,
there it shall be .
*
He who watches the wind shall not sow ;
and he who pays attention to the clouds shall not reap .
*
As you do not know what [
is ]
the way of the spirit ,
as how the bones [
grow ]
in the pregnant woman '
s womb ;
even so you do not know the works of God who makes all .
*
In the morning sow your seed ,
and in the evening do not withhold your hand ;
for you do not know what shall be blessed ,
either this or that ,
or whether they both [
shall be ]
fruitful in the same way .
*
Also the light [
is ]
sweet ,
and a pleasant thing [
it is ]
for the eyes to behold the sun ;
*
but if a man lives many years , [
and ]
rejoices in them all ;
yet let him remember the days of darkness ,
for they shall be many .
All that comes [
is ]
vanity .
*
Rejoice ,
in your youth ,
young man ;
and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth ,
and walk in the ways of your heart ,
and in the sight of your eyes ;
but know that for all these [
things ]
God will bring you into judgment .
*
Therefore remove vexation from your heart ,
and put away evil from your flesh ;
for childhood and prime of life [
are ]
vanity .
